AZ lease improvement bonds.
From $100.

When a commercial landlord requires a tenant to guarantee a build-out as a condition of the lease, a tenant improvements performance bond is the surety form of that promise. It’s a private, contractual requirement — not a state mandate. We price it at 3% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with one soft credit pull.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the tenant-improvements bond actually does

Commercial landlords often finance or rely on tenant improvements — the build-out that makes a leased space usable for the tenant’s business. When the landlord wants assurance the work gets done as agreed, it can require the tenant to post a performance bond as a condition of the lease.

This is a private, contractual bond — there is no Arizona statute that mandates it. The terms come from your lease: the obligation it guarantees, the amount, and the conditions for a claim. The bond protects the landlord against the tenant’s failure to complete the improvements, up to the bond amount.

The amount is whatever your lease names — typically tied to the cost of the improvements. We issue it from $100 with one soft credit pull that never affects your score. Because a performance bond guarantees completion of work, underwriting reviews the obligation and your qualification, and your exact price appears at the application. If the surety pays the landlord, you repay the surety.

Private / contractual (not a state mandate)An Arizona lease tenant improvements performance bond is a private, contractual guarantee required by a commercial landlord — not an Arizona statutory or licensing requirement. Its terms (the obligation, amount, and claim conditions) come from your lease agreement. Confirm the required amount and bond form with your landlord or their counsel.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the lease tenant improvements bond?The premium is 3% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum — priced by the amount, not by a credit or underwriting tier. The bond amount itself comes from your lease — usually tied to the cost of the improvements the landlord wants guaranteed. Enter that figure and your exact price appears at the application.

What does the bond guarantee?It guarantees that you complete the tenant improvements as agreed in the lease. If you don’t and the landlord is harmed, the landlord can claim against the bond up to its amount — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check?Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. Because this is a performance bond, underwriting reviews the obligation and your qualification, and your exact price appears at the application.
What amount should I choose?Use the figure your lease names, usually the cost of the improvements. If you’re unsure, ask your landlord or their counsel for the exact required amount and bond form, and we’ll match it.
